Fixing Text Wrapping Issues with Filenames and Folder Names in Windows 10
Have you ever encountered a situation where long filenames or folder names in Windows 10 text wrap to the next line, making it visually distracting and difficult to read? This article will provide a detailed explanation of how to stop text wrapping in filenames and folder names in Windows 10.
Understanding the Problem
When the length of a filename or folder name exceeds the width of the file explorer window, Windows 10 will automatically wrap the text to the next line. This can make it difficult to read the full name, especially when there are multiple long names in the same directory. Additionally, it can make the directory appear cluttered and disorganized.
Solution: Changing the Folder Options

- Open File Explorer.
- Click on the "View" tab in the ribbon at the top of the window.
- Click on "Options" in the "Show/Hide" section of the ribbon.
- In the Folder Options window, click on the "View" tab.
- Uncheck the box next to "Wrap text in folder view" under the "Advanced settings" section.
- Click "OK" to save the changes.
